[openssl-dev] Fwd: Solaris 8, OpenSSL 1.0.1e, not connecting fro our client, but can connect via openssl in client mode

[Valerie Fenwick]

Why are you running on such an old OS?  How old are your Windows and Linux
systems?  Certainly not of the same generation.

Solaris 8 & 9 are no longer supported, so you can't get security patches
or anything.

I highly recommend you try at least S10, or better, yet - S11.

the /dev/[u]random on S8 is a far cry from what is in our modern OSes.
